Of course I do have alternative motives for wanting to get Rand into the senate. I believe the GOP is essentially worthless party without a good leader at the top and if Rand won the Kentucky senate, then he would be who I would support for president in 2012.

I didn’t like having no one to vote for on the GOP side and having to vote for Chuck Baldwin in this last election, but if there is no one good to vote for on the GOP side again, I’ll go back to the Constitution party or Libertarian party again I guess. Then again, even if all the Constitution Party and Libertarian Party voters went with the GOP, McCain probably still would have lost so maybe it doesn’t matter.

Raleigh, N.C. – Jim Bunning’s approval rating is just 28%, he trails the four most likely
Democratic candidates in hypothetical contests, and fellow Republican Trey Grayson
looks like a much more formidable possible candidate, the newest survey from Public
Policy Polling finds.

54% of voters in the state disapprove of Bunning’s performance, and even among
Republicans just 42% think he’s doing a good job. Grayson, the Secretary of State
mentioned most as the possible GOP candidate were the incumbent to step aside, is
viewed positively by 46% of voters with just 19% holding an unfavorable opinion and
35% not sure.
